I first discovered this manga when I was nearly a senior in high school. It was one of the first manga (or anime, save for cowboy bebop) that made me feel like it was a subject I'd never even considered. You enter into a future that isn't about glamorous flying cars or insane time travel. You are immersed into a realistic view of the future of our planet and space travel. Nearly everything touched on in the manga is based off of real life events and almost all spacecrafts are inspired by actual people or events involving famous scientists or space related items.

The art is a strong point; as with all manga I like this is the most important aspect for me. The art may be one of the best features however the relationships and character development is so deep you'll read and re-read it for years. There are only a few volumes so it's worth a buy and also there is an anime that is fairly high in quality.

I would say this manga got me thinking. It made me start to question space and how much I knew about the world we live in. It really helped me break through the wall and begin learning of rocket scientists and famous space experts. I can safely say I would have not found reddit so easily if not for the knowledge I learned after being inspired by this manga. As with my other post this is another manga I take seriously, it truly has helped shape me.
